Plenty of history to look at here on e org. Look into the Site Map at top of page, there is plenty of historical content to look at.
There is always some-one on the forum who will be willing to help on any subject.

I am merely saying that there is a wealth of local knowledge and history in the people here. There is lots to see and do - it just takes a while to find it all. If I came across as negative my apologies - if you search Gaelic and Caithness in forum posts you will indeed see it has been well covered.
So impressed you can sum up character and intention from one post, I shall return to my well of bile and bitterness forthwith.

My Norwegian friend tells me that Ragnar Rocks is a misspelling of Ragnarøkr, which is old Norse for "big gob" lol!
